Alas not to be...bring on the rain mac and the bbq under the brollies!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I still haven't learnt to fake tan, for fear of the dreaded orange monster!!

At least I won't be exposing my body to unsuspected members of the public.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I would like to add, that in the next couple of months or so, I will be starting my blog afresh, from the beginning on a new platform.

Growing up as a child, my looks were never something I gave much consideration for. Although I do remember having *beauty* contests with other kids in the area I grew up in and coming last. *cue violin strings*<br /><br />It was only really when I attended senior school that I started taking my appearance seriously and found out who the pretty kids were and where I ranked amongst them.<br /><br />Even back then, I was aware that kids who were considered pretty were liked better by fellow pupils and teachers alike. More people wanted to be their friend and were nicer to them.<br /><br />The physical presentation of someone is the first thing we notice, its what we base our opinion on. Rightly or wrongly we make our mind up about someone in a matter of minutes depending on their looks. *Looking the part* is a term you often hear.<br /><br />Beauty opens doors for you. I know lots of us like to think we only become friends, colleagues, partners with someone due to their personalities the truth is most of us either consciously or sub consciously become the one of the above depending on their level of physical appearance<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AM1yjIcj_LE/WS61YRzHcoI/AAAAAAAAGvY/H9Nz_JME-CUR4N_JQTYivFfr60Cac0w_ACLcB/s1600/christy%2Bturlington.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="564" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AM1yjIcj_LE/WS61YRzHcoI/AAAAAAAAGvY/H9Nz_JME-CUR4N_JQTYivFfr60Cac0w_ACLcB/s320/christy%2Bturlington.jpg" width="254" /></a></div><br />The picture above is Christy Turlington, I use to really look up to her when I was a teenager. &nbsp;I remember feeling very jealous &nbsp;of her beauty. If only I looked liked Christy my life would be perfect. Sadly I did not grow into a Turlington lookalike. Even now in her forties, she still looks beautiful.<br /><br />Who did you most want to look like growing up??<br /><br />Jessica<br /><br />jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-9538572830272921772017-07-20T08:00:00.000+01:002017-07-20T08:00:02.353+01:00Devon - a break away from London<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ig3-H0LVHQg/WW9kWROFpUI/AAAAAAAAGzE/z1fwS7tTYK4veb75tUGK1JdGEP-2EQVVQCLcBGAs/s1600/dartmoor_2601905k.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="858" height="394" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ig3-H0LVHQg/WW9kWROFpUI/AAAAAAAAGzE/z1fwS7tTYK4veb75tUGK1JdGEP-2EQVVQCLcBGAs/s640/dartmoor_2601905k.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love London, I've lived in London for over ten years now. Its both exciting and exhausting, lively and depressing,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">New developments and improvements are always taking place...making every thing just that little bit better. Slowly but surely London isnt just about Oxford Street and Zone One but expanding and making Zone Two, Three and Four just as exciting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">London can be busy, very busy and the constant chatter chatter can make you crave a little peace and quiet now and again.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have found my sanctuary, in the shape of my sister's house in Devon. Its about a three hour train journey from London but it may as well be a million miles away!! Nothining but lush green acre's for miles and miles....and miles....a slower pace of life...no one in a hurry...no one moaning if you are deemed walking to slow or in the wrong lane! A reminder to smell the flowers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It's so important, I feel for your health and well being too recharge, remove all social media from &nbsp;your life for a few days....just to take stock...and live....without filming or taking pictures....saviour the moment.....yes I know lots of people make a living from social media but planning ahead gives even the busiest social media bee a little time to herself. .</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Devon relaxes me, it helps me to forget my troubles/pretend they don't exist and for a moment stop time......I just look out the window......and feel i'm in another country. Of course having someone make me tea and make me food helps with this holiday feeling....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I try to get away from London and visit Devon at least four times a year, combiningwith relaxation and spending &nbsp;time with my sister and niece and nephew. (which is not quite as relaxing)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I then return to London with a new zest for London and am ready to hit the floor running. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">What are your go to places when you want to relax, do you spend time with family or do you hop on the first plane you can find!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for reading.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jessica</div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-77542963028354202442017-07-18T08:00:00.000+01:002017-07-18T08:00:03.255+01:00Dreaming of Mulberry<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6WdFr60CeM/WTmbUW-sxsI/AAAAAAAAGyI/qkb0XyF9SdgDBt7H2yiq1Nz02cXlfbr_ACLcB/s1600/236904261.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="475" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z6WdFr60CeM/WTmbUW-sxsI/AAAAAAAAGyI/qkb0XyF9SdgDBt7H2yiq1Nz02cXlfbr_ACLcB/s320/236904261.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Hi All, Look at this beauty.....isn't she gorgeous.....she's from Mulberry &nbsp;and I'm in love with her although my purse and debit cards are not.....I need to speak to them later about this....her full title is Mulberry Medium Lily Leather Shoulder Bag and she's just a little short of a grand.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In my head, I can imagine myself wearing her with lots of different outfits, skipping alone the streets of London with a big swing in my step like Carrie from SATC.....although in reality, I would probably guard it zealously and squash it under my armpit for fear of it getting damaged or touched by other wondering hands on the tube.....don't touch my bag!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">How do other people feel about expensive handbags, whats the most you would spend on a bag??

All mainly in the name of beauty.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know of people whose hair grows like weeds...you can practically see it growing whilst you are talking to them!! I am NOT one of these lucky people. My hair grows at a snails pace. If you are one of these people, then*Hello!* and welcome to my gang..</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I don't claim to be a hair guru and none of the information below is earth shattering new, amazing or a guaranteed winner for Rapzunhael locks BUT they will help....eventually......I promise!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One thing I would recommend if you are to grow your hair, is to take a specific hair supplement. These ones from<b> <span style="color: #e69138;">Philip Kingsley PK4 Soya Protein Capsules</span></b> are a good one to try. You can order them online and in stores such as John Lewis and Marks and Spencers. &nbsp;A months supply is about £21.00. Since I started taking these supplements my hair has been growing that little bit faster than usual and it feels so much healthier than it normally does with a nice little shine, something my hair rarely does on its own accord! There are lots of hair supplements on the market, so do your research and choose one that suits your need and budget.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You are going to hate what I,m about to say next but <span style="color: #e69138;"><b>TRIMS!!</b></span> like what??? I want to grow my hair not make it shorter...like duh? Sorry but if your hair is prone to splitting a tiny trim every six weeks will help to get rid of split ends and stop them from travelling further up your hair and creating more damage. I know it can seem like a backward step in the beginning especially if you need to cut quite a bit off but shorter healthier hair always look 100% better than longer split hair....trust me....trims are your new best friend.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><b>Heat Styling</b></span> I know we need hairdryers and hair tongs to function in this world we live in and make as look presentable and human but too much can be a bad not a good thing. Now that the weather can't decide between hot or cold. Typical British summer then. I suggest letting your hair dry naturally if you can manage it and only style the bare minimal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unless your hair is ultra short, then conditioners should be part of your hair care routine anyway...and if not then start ASAP!<b> Deep Moisturizing Treatments </b>are &nbsp;ideal in adding &nbsp;nourishment back into the hair. The ends of your hair is generally a few years old, add to this equation heat appliances and colouring, it's no surprise how &nbsp;your hair takes a fair knock particular the ends. A good treatment once a week should do the trick. Again there are lots on the market and bloggers are a good bunch as they do tend to recommend products they love...so check out a fellow bloggers posts</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saving the best for last but <b>DIET</b> you can't go around expecting to have long flowing amazing locks if you live on junk food. Before I go any further genetics can play a MASSIVE part in whether your hair grows or not and some people to put it politely were &nbsp;near the end of the queue when good hair was given out!! Medication, can also play a part in how your hair looks and feels. Pregnancy and a huge change in hormones is another hair changer. Make sure you eat plenty of vegetables and fruits. Red meat is full of iron, an important mineral for hair. If you don't eat read meat, I would suggest taking an iron supplement (I.m a veggie and I take a combined Iron and Vit B12 supplement)<br /><br /><br /></div>I hope you like my tips and let me know if you have any, you would like to share.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jessica</div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-8555483946872625552017-07-11T08:30:00.000+01:002017-07-11T08:30:08.355+01:00Fashion Instagrammers to Follow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wt6_g_5HGaU/WS7CiI6px9I/AAAAAAAAGvo/nUAot2vgrwg2h5IR7K044NWn0Fp4ldykgCLcB/s1600/fashion%2Binstagrammer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wt6_g_5HGaU/WS7CiI6px9I/AAAAAAAAGvo/nUAot2vgrwg2h5IR7K044NWn0Fp4ldykgCLcB/s640/fashion%2Binstagrammer.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><u>The Frugality</u></b> - I lurve Alex and her blog.

Especially nice for the long winter ahead of us!! his heatwave won't last!!</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Cowshed Knackered &nbsp;Relaxing Room Candle £34.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cowshed, is very popular amongst bloggers and I'm sure lots of you have been to one of their spa's but they also happen to sell rather fabulous candles as well. This candle doesn't contain and parabens or petrochemicals and has certified vegan ingredients. This one contains Lavender and Eucalyptus to help both calm and to clear your head.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Floris Lavender and Mint Scented Candle &nbsp;£40.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A friend introduced me to this brand. Initially I was swayed by the gold packaging. I'm a sucker for gold packaging!! As soon as she lit said candle though, I was won over by the scent. It really is a beautiful candle. Some candles don't really give off any scent or not a scent that's worth paying the money for but this one as the candles are above really deserves its price tag. I love the smell of Lavender but the crisp mint stops it from being to *granny smelling!!* you guys know what I mean!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What candles do you like to burn??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span></div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-56941861745967430682017-07-05T07:30:00.000+01:002017-07-05T07:30:02.470+01:00New In - Beauty products to transform your life!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LXHYySkJFCQ/WTaYWjF9_GI/AAAAAAAAGv8/AuEgQpdYDfUDXigNOHqGCO6bcgBxdZ03wCLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BImage%2Bsummer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LXHYySkJFCQ/WTaYWjF9_GI/AAAAAAAAGv8/AuEgQpdYDfUDXigNOHqGCO6bcgBxdZ03wCLcB/s640/PicMonkey%2BImage%2Bsummer.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Ha! Okay, the title of this post, may be a little over the top...but it caught your eye!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Ahhh the allure of shiny new products a??? You might have a shelf, drawer, cupboard, room stuffed to the brim full of products but you can't just help adding one more to the other gallons you're already hoarding.....and there always seem to be a good reason as to why you need more....so allow me to help you on your quest!!</div><br /><b><u>Yves Saint Laurent La Laque Couture in Jungle Green £</u></b><b><u>19.50</u></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">For me, summertime is all about the clashing tropical colours...even if you tend to stick to a neutral wardrobe palette of blue, white and grey. &nbsp;Painting your nails in a bright colour is one of the quickest and easiest ways to freshen up your look without doing anything drastic. These guys are a little on the pricey side...but the polish does last. The higher end price tag, means you'll probably &nbsp;look after it better to boot. There is a choice of 28 colours in the range, so if this shade doesn't tickle your fancy....you're sure to find something that will.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><u>Mac Lipstick Fruity Juicy Calm Heat £16.50</u></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Obviously, I am continuing with the tropical's theme &nbsp;here with this little beauty from Mac. Isn't the packaging just divine? I know some people find Mac lipsticks can be drying on the lips but this one isn't. There are four shades in the range with different textures. The Calm Heat is the only matt texture. Like the product above, lipsticks are a quick way to change and brighten your look without having to spend as much money. I've never been someone to wear lipstick mainly as I don't feel that my lips are my best feature but the right shade and liner can make a world of difference.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><b><u>Urban Decay Jean Michel Gallery Blush Palette £27.00</u></b><br /><b><u><br /></u></b><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I love a good palette, it's like a shopping centre under one lid!! Granted yes, I know they can be a hit and miss affair.....and there's always a dud one in the line up but this palette is a goodie. The packaging has been designed by the&nbsp;renowned artist Jean Michal Basquiat. &nbsp;I&nbsp;guess you can say its a collectable as well. The palette contains two blushers, a shimmy and a bronze. If you are going on holiday anytime soon, this is the one you need to pack.</div><br /><b><u>Nails Inc The Getaway Collection £19.00</u></b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I know, I,m a sucker for good packaging!! What's also clever about this, is you can pack them in your hand luggage. 5ml per bottle.....we will not be parted!! Not at this price, that's for sure. This set contains a pink and coral nail polish and a combined top and base coat. Perfect for that summer tan....natural or not!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have you bought anything new recently or do you just repeat buy the same things??</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Jessica</div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-390749739109802082017-07-03T08:00:00.000+01:002017-07-03T09:39:16.544+01:00Hello July!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ut0Mqxuoy6g/WS20iUyrzCI/AAAAAAAAGu4/D45PX2Al754QVZklowxuLzwjqZppx5skQCLcB/s1600/ab84adaf5c885826a486ba20ecdb054e%2Bblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="647" data-original-width="500" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ut0Mqxuoy6g/WS20iUyrzCI/AAAAAAAAGu4/D45PX2Al754QVZklowxuLzwjqZppx5skQCLcB/s400/ab84adaf5c885826a486ba20ecdb054e%2Bblog.jpg" width="307" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">My my, where do I start?? It's been quite some time since I written on my blog, October 2016 to be precise, ten months ago. To be fair, I didn't just neglect my blog but all my social media accounts too!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Where have you been?" I hear you cry.....erm here...truth is....I don't really have any excuse other than long working hours, adding on difficult commute times and generally not being *arsed*..... that's about it really!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I simply didn't have the time or the inclination to blog, what spare time I did have...I used in other ways. &nbsp;It was only meant to be be for a couple of weeks, then Christmas came along followed by New Years and I lost my mojo. You don't realise until you start blogging, how many plates you have to keep spinning for everything to work. Researching, photographing, styling and writing blog posts.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, after a long break, I realised that I've really missed writing on my blog and feel annoyed with myself for stopping in the first place. &nbsp;This is something I do for me, does it matter if my mum's the only person&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, I am taking the blogging world by the horns again and starting afresh.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With this in mind, I have decided to compete five goals in relation to my blog, which I hope will keep my back on track.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #666666;">Goals for July,</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1.

I practically say the same thing every month but it truly is scary how quickly the months fly past.<br /><br />One minute you are making New Years Resolutions for the year then next thing you know the bloodly thing is almost over before you have even started on your list.<br /><br />I do however love October as a month, I love the slightly colder months, which require you to put more layers on which of course hide the extra helpings of stodge in the name of puddings we tend to eat.<br /><br />I know I tend to *hibernate* in the colder months..I feel it's just an inbuilt part of nature. &nbsp;I can't say I love it when the nights draw in earlier....I hate it when it's dark when you wake up and dark before you leave work.<br /><br />I have a niece and nephew and I love being drawn into the excitment of Halloween, they tend to do lots of different activites at their school. Fancy dress you name it....and I love how it brings out the little kid in me.<br /><br />Of course October heralds the fact that Christmas is just around the corner!! Most of the shops have their Christmas displays in full swing now. I am not complaining as personally I love it. Now I don't work in retail anymore I love wondering around. When I worked in retail it use to annoy me...but its now gone full circle!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span></div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-20149105824842708072016-10-17T08:00:00.000+01:002016-10-17T08:00:00.730+01:004 Great Moisturizer's under £20.00<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B9Ju1qlP3ls/V-KviASqw-I/AAAAAAAAGh0/OnV-A97AP6MWsjDAv8Vf4TUIzAgMNJjpgCLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bbeauty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B9Ju1qlP3ls/V-KviASqw-I/AAAAAAAAGh0/OnV-A97AP6MWsjDAv8Vf4TUIzAgMNJjpgCLcB/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bbeauty.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #e69138;">Kiehls Ultra Facial Moisturizer £13.00 (75ml) </span>is a staple in lots of Beauty Editors and Make-up Artists kits. It's so lightweight and sinks in very quickly without leaving your face greasy or sticky. It also acts as a perfect base for your make-up. Added bonus is that it's suitable for all skin types<br /><br /><span style="color: #e69138;">Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer £16.00 (50ml)</span> Again another great staple used and loved by many in the industry is Clinique. I know Clinique seems to be a bit of a marmite with some people but personally I love the brand, although I would steer clear of their toners!! This sinks in nicely and gives just the right amount of moisturizing effect. The bottle is also cute as well.<br /><br /><span style="color: #e69138;">Dermologica Clear Start Matte Moisturizer &nbsp;SPF15 £16.00 (60ml)</span> A great one to try if you like a moisturizer with added protection benefits to it. Especially good for younger or oil prone skins, &nbsp;This will help to control shine. So no rushing off mid morning to retouch your make-up.<br /><br /><span style="color: #e69138;">Liz Earle Repair Moisturizer £18.00 50ml</span> I am a big fan of Liz Earle, I mean who hasn't tried their Iconic cleanser like hello??? Liz Earle products are both natural but glamorous as the same time. This one contains Vitamin E and Borage Oil, so a double whammy or protective moisturizing benefits.<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span></div><br /><br /><br />jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-10939901634775058592016-10-14T13:21:00.000+01:002016-10-14T13:21:06.289+01:004 Things To Try From Clarins<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Up71OyABV3M/V_ajOCMI0hI/AAAAAAAAGr0/AOSzj2lCMvw1jRzunWVUat7zFE9y5GR8gCLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bclarins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Up71OyABV3M/V_ajOCMI0hI/AAAAAAAAGr0/AOSzj2lCMvw1jRzunWVUat7zFE9y5GR8gCLcB/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bclarins.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #e69138;">Clarins Gentle Skin Foaming Cleaners 125ml £19.50</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the first things I tried from Clarins was their cleanser, I think there was a special offer on at Boots (I know!) but I was on the look out for one and this special offer was just the push I needed to hand over my card. This is such a lovely product to use it doesn't foam as such despite the name but cleanses more like a milk. Effective at removing make-up without stripping the skin or making it feel tight. I recommend trying this especially in the winter months when our skin tends to be a bit dull from the harsh elements.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #e69138;">Clarins Face Treatment - Blue Orchid 30ml £33.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I was lucky enough to be given one of these as a birthday gift (I tend to ask for beauty things for my b day) I read about the oil in a glossy magazine and was sold instantly. It's aimed at dehydrated skin types. Great for hydration and for glossing over those pesky like fine lines. &nbsp;It's a real treat to use again especially in the colder winter months where the combination of cold dry air and hot air cons can cause havoc on our skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e69138;"><br /></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #e69138;">Clarins Extra Firming Eye Lift Perfecting Serum 15ml £39.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is a product on my wish list and is something I am hoping to find under the Christmas tree this year!! This is a great product to help tighten up the area under the eyes without drying the skin out.I always try to use some sort of skin care product around my eyes and the older I've got the more money I seem to spend on eyecare. Money well spent in this case!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Clarins Multi Active Night Cream 50ml £44.00</span></span></div>Again another Birthday gift to me from me!! My skin can be quite dry and I do find I need nourishing&nbsp;products but nourishing products that aren't going to clog my pores. These can actually be tricky to find. This cream is beautiful to use as it feels so luxurious on the skin....I tend to find I use the correct amount due to the price....I don't use excess amounts and then use the leftovers* as a handcream...oh no....purely for the face only.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">What products do you use from Clarins??</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span><br /><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: medium;">ps.

I know John Lewis is getting a bit of a bad rap but not from me! This bag is a gorgeous shade of brown. Which means it will go with most things in your wardrobe. It''s also a good size as well. I do like big bags but sometimes I find, I fill them with well rubbish really, a modest size bag means I jut fill it with what I actually need.

I would really love to own a 2.55 Chanel bag, that's one of my bucke list goals. It may seem a slightly silly goal but it's the only bag that I have ever wanted. Paris has been chock a block with all the beautiful people and Karl Lagerfield for Chanel held their show this week. It had a technology based theme hence the robots.

Monday was so hot, Tuesday rained, then Wednesday &nbsp;was one of those not cold but slightly too hot for a proper coat. By Thursday though, we were in no doubt that Autumn was amongst us. &nbsp;Over the past few years. I have noticed that August tends to be a complete wash out and late September tends to really bloom. The only downer is the night drawing in.

Nothing makes your eyes zing out and your eyelashes look like they belong to a newborn baby than a well chosen mascara. I love Benefit Mascara's and this one is a corker<br /><br />Your hands show the sign of aging pretty quickly, more so they any other part of the body so a good hand cream should always be placed in your handbag. This one from&nbsp;<span style="color: #e69138;">L'Occitance</span> £7.20 is super moisturizing and use regularly will make your hands look as fresh as a teenager. (almost)<br /><br />Okay, the weather may be a lot cooler now but this facial spritz from the <span style="color: #e69138;">Organic Phamarcy </span>£27.00 is a perfect little afternoon pick me up. Spritz on if your skin is feeling a little dehydrated *Hello, air con* this will help to reduce redness and calm your skin.<br /><br />A colour that looks like the colour of your own lips&nbsp;but slightly darker and better, then look no further than this one from <span style="color: #e69138;">Clinque Chubby Stick in Curviest Caramel</span> £17.50. If your lips are not your best feature, I feel it's better to enhance the colour you have naturally which will make them look slightly fuller rather than use dark or overly bright colours. I have a couple of these lying in different places around the house.<br /><br />I love the<span style="color: #e69138;">&nbsp;Tangle Teezers </span>although I don't have this colour&nbsp;yet £12.00. Perfect for reducing knots in your hair without damaging. You can use this both on wet and dry hair. I wouldn't be without mine. They are also easy to carry around in your handbag as well.<br /><br />I know most of you guys reading this have regularly manicures but even if you are not one of them and don't have the time or money to spend getting your nails done regularly. This clear nail polish from <span style="color: #e69138;">Mavala</span> £4.95 will help your nails to look more groomed with minimal fuss,<br /><br />I adore the<span style="color: #e69138;"> Liz Earle Cleanser</span> £26.00 and I don't know anyone whose skin hasn't improved when using this. A definitely must have in your bathroom cabinet. This will cleanse your skin like nothing else will and leave your skin feeling really lovely and smooth not to mention as soft as a baby's bottom!<br /><br />Let's face it, the humidity and cold air is not a match made in heaven when it comes to our hair so why not enhance those navy waves with this <span style="color: #e69138;">Bumble &amp; Bumble Surf Spray</span> £22.00. &nbsp;I love the straight sleek look but tongs can play havoc so making the most of your natural waves works better in the long run. Or at least alternate.<br /><br />I have fond memories of working with this store many moons ago when Jo was at the realm as so too speak, I still love this <span style="color: #e69138;">Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin</span> £43.00 &nbsp;and it truly is a classic. The size of this is perfect meaning it will fit into most small clutches if you are heading out for the evening. Men seem to love this spray as well. So I've&nbsp;been told.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">What essentials do you always have with you?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span></div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-61466294505672473402016-10-04T12:23:00.001+01:002016-10-04T12:23:58.267+01:009 Cool Instragrammers To Follow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8NidnVwybyg/V_GbyYdwe8I/AAAAAAAAGog/sZT8d54wC3w5ZWiYThP7Q-AD9hMqu3pEQCEw/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bsincerely%2Bjules.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8NidnVwybyg/V_GbyYdwe8I/AAAAAAAAGog/sZT8d54wC3w5ZWiYThP7Q-AD9hMqu3pEQCEw/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bsincerely%2Bjules.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One of my favourite blogs to follow is Sincerely Jules.

(no offence to the people of Skegness) we want to look at pictures of Chanel not Matalan....(again no offence to the people of Matalan) we want to look at pictures of The Ivy not MacDonalds ( again no offence......or wait....nah!)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Instagram...I already love and I hate you a little at the same time......<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: large;"><b>Jessica</b></span></div></div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-8773589482987092242016-09-26T11:26:00.000+01:002016-09-26T11:26:10.968+01:004 Exfoliators to try<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DAbgovB_kgA/V6NiPHWlKyI/AAAAAAAAGVo/rbN6BkDIHJkKEPDmR7YlTCX3vC2SRE6dACLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DAbgovB_kgA/V6NiPHWlKyI/AAAAAAAAGVo/rbN6BkDIHJkKEPDmR7YlTCX3vC2SRE6dACLcB/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Neals Yard Rose Facial Polish &nbsp;£16.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love &nbsp;Neal's Yard Remedy full stop. I love the smell that greets you when you walk into their stores. Not to mention their &nbsp;friendly staff ready to give you tons of super tips. &nbsp;I first tried this product when it was given to me as a birthday gift. I like to use facial scrubs on my face once in &nbsp;while as I feel living in London makes my skin look a bit dull. Having said that, I don't like to use anything that will scratch my skin. This is perfect as the particles in here are so small even the sensitive skin types can use this. &nbsp;After I've used this...my skin looks better straight away, fresher, not better when I look at it in a certain light. This products adds a real freshness to your skin.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Liz Earle Gentle Face Exfoliator £15.75</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another range I love is Liz Earle, I know I seem to like everyone but I think I probably do!! &nbsp;There are so many fantastic brands and products out there! This one is great for blocked pores and blackheads and especially for stubborn ones around the nose. &nbsp;Another gentle scrub, this one contains cocoa butter and smoothing eucalyptus. Great if your skin is dry, sensitive and if you fall under the more *mature* &nbsp;skin range. I use this two to three times a week to really deep cleanse my face. What I also like about this, is that it comes in a pump container so it's easier to control.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream Rinse Off Formula £20.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know Clinque facial scrubs tend to be a real hit and miss affair with lots of people. They definitely fall into the *marmite* category that's for sure. I tend to use this one more in the winter when my skin get a little flaky and in need of SOS! It really does help pores when I do suffer from quite badly on my nose and on my forehead. I do find that after I've used this one my make-up tends to go on more evenly as well. For the record, the other two above have the same effect as well. &nbsp;Like all my scrubs. I only use this in the evening, just because &nbsp;I am not a morning person and try to do as little as possible because I don't really wake up until lunch time</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138;">Origins Never A Dull Moment Skin Brightening Moment £26.00</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another product that was given to me as a gift. I tend to ask for beauty products for my Birthday and Christmas. This brand first came to my attention when a friend mentioned that she used the range all the time. This is the same friend who bought me the polish. &nbsp;Now her skin to me always seems to glow so I was really keen to find out her secrets. Apparently it was all down to this product. If you feel your skin is looking a bit grey and a bit dull looking...you know a bit lacklustre then this is the scrub for you as it truly does brightening your skin in a way you never thought possible. It contains mango and apricot seeds which help to give you a glow.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know there are lots of other brands and scrubs out there. I haven't even touched on how many I have used over the years....I've &nbsp;lost count. I think after a while you tend to know what works for you and what doesn't. So stick to your guns and don't let anyone talk you into the *must have* product if you know it isn't going to work for you.&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: right;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: large;">Jessica</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>jessica rosehttps://plus.google.com/110532745939297365205noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505806562290545380.post-1507842325868751662016-09-23T08:30:00.000+01:002016-09-23T08:30:28.401+01:00A week on the internet<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jeTGG8KVM6Y/V-ElVtBSv5I/AAAAAAAAGeI/D5iyadsdvnMvGxM_AUAPqxXGVWjEN5P8ACLcB/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jeTGG8KVM6Y/V-ElVtBSv5I/AAAAAAAAGeI/D5iyadsdvnMvGxM_AUAPqxXGVWjEN5P8ACLcB/s320/12.jpg" width="212" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yGyFzcihYj4/V-ElXBLmlkI/AAAAAAAAGeM/I-Z8jXymVAM03fEgu10DSFk6wNQWGd5UACLcB/s1600/810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yGyFzcihYj4/V-ElXBLmlkI/AAAAAAAAGeM/I-Z8jXymVAM03fEgu10DSFk6wNQWGd5UACLcB/s320/810.jpg" width="212" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ed0WEq97QW8/V-ElY30nvFI/AAAAAAAAGeQ/I1SUIiJMeOIFHCn55BKp6hPaYV3fJPUfgCLcB/s1600/810fff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ed0WEq97QW8/V-ElY30nvFI/AAAAAAAAGeQ/I1SUIiJMeOIFHCn55BKp6hPaYV3fJPUfgCLcB/s320/810fff.jpg" width="212" /></a><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yGyFzcihYj4/V-ElXBLmlkI/AAAAAAAAGeM/I-Z8jXymVAM03fEgu10DSFk6wNQWGd5UACLcB/s1600/810.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>&nbsp;You may or may not have been aware but this week has seen the start of the bi annual fashion month.

Actually I have been loving all the campaigns from just about everyone this year. There is something to be said &nbsp;when the next season's campaigns hit the shops...it makes you forget about all&nbsp;your old things and start craving all their new stuff....but I guess that means they are doing something right!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />How hot has the weather been in London for the past few days!?! ....it's been a scorcher!! Yes, my back has been dripping with sweat...despite taking two showers a day!! It won't last though....rain before we know it..but *Hot Weather* you have been swell.<br /><br />I also brought myself up to date into the 21st Century and finally bought an I-Phone. I plumped for a Pink SE phone. I preferred this phone as it was smaller than an Iphone 6. The SE phone sits neatly in my hand. The camera quality is better than an Iphone 6, apperately. I think I may finally be joining Instagram. Once I have worked out how to use the phone....baby steps.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eW3Ee5i39g/V79KdjExIfI/AAAAAAAAGbo/-YSy0LtaXlgQr65OSAxOjxNqO9w69L8nQCLcB/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bdrinks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5eW3Ee5i39g/V79KdjExIfI/AAAAAAAAGbo/-YSy0LtaXlgQr65OSAxOjxNqO9w69L8nQCLcB/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage%2Bdrinks.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>I am partial to a Margarita or two (aren't well all) my pinboard is stuffed with ideas and recipes.

Mastering the art of a perfect Margarita is a very under rated skill. That's all I am saying.<br /><br />Bloglovin posts I have been loving this week come courtesy from Take Aim.

Next up, a really interesting post from &nbsp;The Coveteur on how to deal with damaged tresses. Don't use a shampoo at all. You use conditioner as a shampoo and a deep condition as a conditioner...got that!!
